Winter outfits 11

31.  SOCKS + MULES.  I’ve seen this pulled off well with open-toe styles, but I’d really like to make it work with this pair.  I think the key is keeping a little bit of ankle showing.

Inspo // sweatshirt // cardigan (similar) // jeans (similar) // socks // mules

32.  WHITE SHIRT.  Keeping everything else simple and minimal lets this shirt make a statement.

Inspo // top (similar) // jeans // bag // loafers (similar)

33.  WORK PANTS.  In the same way, I like these pants paired with really simple, minimal pieces.

Inspo // tee // pants // mini purse // lipstick in ruby woo // heels

End Year Traditions (Curves Ahead)

End Year Traditions (Curves Ahead)

End of year traditions for blogging. Normally bloggers end the year with a recap of their blog titles.  I’ve not decided what to end the year with, other than a BANG!  I’ve been reading a lot of sewing and fashion blogs lately. One of which hits home since I’m not in my forties anymore and definitely not a size zero! I used Pinterest and the words curvy sewing. I was so glad to find the kimono…

Sew What Trend

WHO, WHAT, WEAR  is my fall back for fashion trend. I love that site, it inspires me.  It drives me to do better.   It makes me understand fashion. Sew what is not the actual name.  The actual website is called WHO, WHAT, WEAR. I use this website as a sounding board when deciding what clothing I want to make and the articles of clothing I’ll skip!  Let’s take a look…………… The most recent…

Sewing Tutorial Review

So it seemed like  to me it’s been a while since I’ve done a review. Tutorials Tutorials, what a great topic to do reviews. The Internet definitely has a vast assortment of  websites for sewing tutorials. But, just because there is a large variety does not mean they are all equally fulfilling your needs when learning to sew. Everyone can go on YouTube search and videos of sewing tutorials. That’s…

The Next Level

I design a lot of my clothing, I’ve been dying to take my designing to the next level with a dress form! Constant trying on, running to the mirror,  adjusting, is tedious! Also you never know for sure what the fit is like. Singer does it for me again! I don’t like the color, but I’m creative, I can recover it to match my studio.  I love that it’s so completely adjustable.   I found this one…

The Serger it's not Really that Scary

The Serger it’s not Really that Scary

The Serger I’ve been reading, and reading, and reading about the this toy/machine.  I read so much I decided I can’t live without one. So, I purchased this beautiful piece of machinery. [envira-gallery slug=”juke-serger”]  I threaded it, on my own, and actually sewed some old Levi jeans as a test run.  Do not try to sew over the seams.  I broke my needle and to replace it, which I’m working on…

Subscribers....my greatest Apology!

Subscribers….my greatest Apology!

Where are the Newsletters?   I am really feeling bad about my subscribers.  I feel like the newsletter programs out there just do not do the job.  I have a suspicion they use our subscribers as their new spam list.  If this is happening, please understand I have nothing to do with that. One program I used, sent out two emails. It was months before my husband told me he wasn’t getting emails. This…

Learning to Sew on PBS

Learning to Sew on PBS

There is a choice for PBS television. It’s Sew Easy Sewing show on PBS. Fit to Stitch is on the channel but, an easier way to watch this show is to use You Tube, which is also tv compatible. The video series with Peggy Sagers is…

Anthropologie and Victoria's Secret on the Cheap

Anthropologie and Victoria’s Secret on the Cheap

I sew therefore I refuse to pay for ready to wear!  So, I’ve been working on a few Anthropologie and Victoria’s Secret hacks.  Anthro has some of the best fashion out there.  They must, everyone is trying to hack it.  Well, I jumped on the bandwagon too, why?  The styles are really pretty straightforward and pretty easy to duplicate on the cheap. Thank you again Anthropologie. :-) This is a…
